Since it’s pics day, let me share a few of my photos of the Soyuz rocket launched to the ISS on April 8th from the Baikonur cosmodrome. Bringing people to space in a joint effort – that’s how the rockets should be used.

Photos’ order is a bit messed up: 1) about a minute after start, 2) the launch, 3) first stage separated, 4) support arms retracting before launch.

    Anyone else cringe that USSR tech is still the most reliable launch platform?
